Looking at Polaroid Snaps

March, 1996. My engineering department colleague, office-mate and friend Kathy checks out with amusement a few Polaroid photos that I had taken of our colleagues and fellow employees. I was experimenting with an old (circa 1960) Polaroid camera. So while she was perusing my previous snaps, I took one of her doing so! Luckily, daylight was still coming in the large window behind me here.

 

Just for fun, I had multiple calendars on my office wall. They are on the month of March which began on a Friday in that year. After some quick calendar research I determined that the year was 1996. I can see that the calendar under the wall clock featured paintings of classic diners. The calendar at Kathy’s left elbow featured historic scenes of Long Beach, California. I can tell that the specific scene depicted was of Daugherty Field, now known as Long Beach Airport (LGB). We can see the gas-o-meter storage tank and Signal Hill with its multiple oil derricks in the background of the photo.

 

Kathy was a Mechanical Engineering graduate from California Polytechnic State University at San Luis Obispo.
